So it would be nice to have the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons in the top bar of open programs. How can I get them back and why were they ever removed?
Also would be nice to see all open programs in the top panel like any other modern taskbar. And it would be really nice to add shortcuts to the desktop.
Anyone know how I can get all these features on Debian 9?

Re: How to enable minimize and maximize buttons?
You could start by mentioning which of the half-dozen or so possible desktop environments you are running, they all have different ways to do what you ask.
That said, the only one with defaults as dumb as you describe is the current GNOME desktop, if that's what you're running then see above.
My solution would probably be to ditch GNOME though, I hate the UI changes in v3 with a passion.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Running the default desktop environment.
Yes gnome-tweak-tool is what I needed. Thank you

Re: How to enable minimize and maximize buttons?
These are maxall and minall scripts. I use openbox but they are pretty DE/WM independent.
My maxall script
My minall script. Should probably be called unmax but it's in my openbox menu, xdotool in tint2 and fittstool across several machines so minall it is.
My maxall script
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
window_ids=$(wmctrl -l | cut -f1 -d " ")
for window_id in $window_ids
do
wmctrl -i -r "$window_id" -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
done

done
